Fix Flutter/Dart Issues(like lint issues) in Bulk

Are you a Flutter/Dart developer tired of refactoring lint issues one file at a time? Want a faster way to clean things up?

Unlike my other articles, we don’t need to go into detail here — the solution is actually quite simple. You just need to run the following command in the terminal where your project is located:

dart fix --apply --code=<error type>

💁 For Example

Let’s say you want to remove all unnecessary import issues throughout your project. Just replace <error_type> with unnecessary_import like this:

dart fix --apply --code=unnecessary_import

And that’s it! Dart will scan your project and apply fixes for that specific lint rule across all files.

You can fix other issues the same way — just look up the error code in the PROBLEMS tab in your IDE. The code will usually appear in brackets next to the warning or error message.

And there you have it! 🎉 Now you know how to fix Flutter/Dart issues in bulk.
